What did you do to your Class C MH today???

This is always a fun thread to watch in other forums, so I thought I'd start one here.

We put the New to us this summer Little C away in it's new house for the winter.

In preparation for some fall and winter camping:

• I installed a storm window treatment on the overhead bunk window using that heat shrink plastic from the hardware store
• I also made a clear window cover for the window on my door out of clear plexi glass.

Finished replacing the counter tops and putting in the new backsplash. Here is a photo of the old top off and a couple of the finished product.

I installed a rear camera and hooked it up to my dvd/cd/am/fm in dash stereo. Ran the wires down the frame rail to the cab. Brand new camera was 10 bucks from Hong Kong (Ebay) and stereo 350 bucks at Wallyworld. Works great and looks all stock.

Built a rear rack for the Porta-Bote. Just need to paint it!

Added Aluminum Bubble Insulation with velcro stickers for large windows (Duck hunting in 4 weeks! It will be cooooooooold!)

:E Well, I was moving the C out of the way on the back drive, so that I could blow leaves, that time of the year,move leaves, load in vechile take to the dump, well as I was coming back to the C, I SAW, OMG what the heck is that, on the street side, a gunky looking streak running down the side of the C. It was about 6" in from the end, and about 18" up from the bottom, coming out from under a piece of trim. So when I got done moving leaves I started working on the gunk, took off the trim strip, only thing under that strip was phillip head screw about 1/2" dia. I looked close and yep it was damp. So I stood back and look up the side of the C and sure enough right at the top where a piece of trim covers the seam at the roof and sidewall, there was a hole in the caulking, so I redid that, now next week all seams will get a up close and personal look before winter sets in. I am glad that I saw this now and not in the spring. I guess I will have to smoke the C to check for leaks.

Some months ago a friend gave me a several year old but in good condition top of the line Fantastic vent fan assembly from a PU camper he once had. By top of the line, I mean one that included an adjustable thermostat and a reversing switch, along with the usual 3-speed fan switch. The one that came with my Class C new in 2006 was only the basic Fantastic vent fan with 3-speeds and always pulled air from the inside and expelled it out the vent.

I disassembled my Fantastic vent fan, modified it, and installed the controls into it from the older Fantastic vent fan assembly.

I hope I have now solved some problems we experienced on trips we took this year:

- By using my fan now in "IN" mode when camped so as to draw air in from over the roof and push it into the coach interior I get a positive pressure inside the rig. This should absolutely stop any generator fumes from entering the interior in order to provide more worry free carbon monoxide safety along with continual refreshing of the interior air during extended runs of the generator when boondocking for battery charging or in extreme heat in which the A/C is necessary.

- Also by using the fan as above in "IN" mode to improve interior positive pressure when traveling down dusty dirt/gravel roads, we should be able to keep dust out of the coach better than trying to use only the cab's dash system for pressurizing the whole motorhome's interior.

- We'll occasionally use the Fantactic vent fan's adjustable thermostat feature when boondocking to better control interior heat and ventilation in moderate weather with less draw on the batteries than that of a constantly running vent fan.

- We're also going to experiment with using our new upgraded vent fan in "IN" mode to push air out the stove hood vent when cooking to exhaust cooking fumes and moisture. This may allow us to leave the stove's vent fan off, as the stove's fan is louder, and uses more coach battery energy, than the Fantastic vent fan. I've already checked this and the Fantastic vent fan in "IN" mode does open the stove's exhaust fan exterior covering flap when running on any of it's 3 speeds.

Worked on a rack to carry the Porta Bote on the rear of the MH.

Installed new illuminated rocker switches to control power flow to the weather radio and cell phone amplifier. And finally figured out why the fridge light was staying on: duh! I had the climate control switch on.

Made some black out curtains for the back bedroom windows to cover the blinds so we can sleep in longer when we want to.

Spent 4 hours cleaning and polishing the Alcoa wheels on our Jayco Greyhawk. Whew, that was a lot of work but it sure was worth it...shiny!!!

[ALnCORY]

I got all the pressboard cut to replace the countertops. With a little luck I will get formica on and have them installed this week.
